In The Capital Of The Viceroyalty Of Nueva España, There Were A Number Of Religious Communities Of Nuns. All These Convents Were Affected By The Liberal Reforms Of The 1850s And 1860s And None Of Them Operates Now As A Convent. Example: • The Fmr. Convento De San Jerónimo, At Izazaga, Now Universidad Del Claustro De Sor Juana, Was A Nunnery Of The Order Of The Hieronymites. Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz (1648-1695), One Of The Most Important Writers Of The Spanish Siglo De Oro And Considered The Mother Of Latin American Literature, Lived There. • The Fmr. Convent Of Regina Coeli, At Calle Regina #7, Founded In 1573. It Belonged To The Order Of The Conceptionists. • The Church And Fmr. Convent Of The Inmaculada Concepción, At Belisario Domínguez #3, The Oldest Nunnery In The City, Established In 1540. Only The Church Survives. The Convent Was The Site Of The Ghost Story Of The Nun Úrsula Del Espíritu Santo, Who Hanged Herself In A Peach Tree And The Story Tells That Her Shadow Appeared In The Reflection Of The Fountain In The Middle Of The Cloister. • Temple Of Santa Catalina De Siena: At República De Argentina #29, Was Inaugurated In 1623 And Belonged To The Dominican Order. • Fmr. Convento De La Encarnación: At Luis González Obregón #18. It Also Belonged To The Dominican Order Of Nuns. It Is The Present-Day Seat Of The Ministry Of Education. The Temple Remains To This Day. • Church Of San Lorenzo Diácono Y Mártir: At Belisario Domínguez #28. It Belonged To The Hieronymite Nuns; The Convent Was Founded In 1598. After The Liberal Reforms, The Convent Has Housed A Number Of Educational Institutions, Presently Being The Esime, Superior School Of Electrical And Mechanical Engineering.
